Highchair

I had a premie so at 6 month my baby was the same to small for majority oh the high chairs so we did a lot of lap feeding and placing baby in a place where they can stay ina. Seated position. I’ve seen other moms that put a towel behind the baby to bring them forward but sitting and lap position was the best for us

Id highly recommend the Tutti Bambini 2in1 Nova Lite Highchair & Bouncer 0 - 12 Year, it does so much! Useful throughout all ages so your not buying loads of different things to store. Has a newborn seat that come with shoulder straps and waist a bit like a car seat.

IKEA sell a cushion that goes inside the high chair that provides even more support and makes the space inside smaller.

We have a chair with the shoulder straps and haven’t found they prevent slumping. Our daughter can sit up completely unsupported indefinitely, but chooses to slump herself down, so I wouldn’t say shoulder straps are essential. X

One thing that a consultant told me that I didn't think about before is that while we think shoulder straps are important, you are supposed to be there, attentive at all times. If baby chokes while eating, it's important for you to pull out baby ASAP and shoulder straps might jeopardize that first response timing. So I'd say, no, you can do without them as long as you are there next to baby.

We’ve got the joie I recommend it. You can even lay it back so it’s not in a very upright position and baby can lay down in it. My baby is 3 months and we use it with the lay down setting. I think it was £60.
